“…The great number of scans done per time unit also allows SD-OCT systems to generate 3D reconstructions, which can be further manipulated. Visualization of this data in 3D demonstrates subtle pathology not evident with conventional 2D images (Talu et al, 2009). …”

“…Time domain OCT (TD-OCT) is a technique that produces two-dimensional images of the sample internal structure. In standard TD-OCT two different scanning procedures are used in order to obtain an image: a depth scan using time-domain low coherence interferometry and a lateral scan addressing laterally adjacent positions to obtain the location of light scattering bodies in the sample (Talu et al, 2009). In TD-OCT, light from the low-coherence light source is divided evenly by the beam splitter.…”

“…The transversal resolution is determined by the focused spot size of the optical beam. The capability of TD-OCT system to produce images with good quality is characterized by the value of the signal to noise ratio (SNR) (Talu et al, 2009). …”

“…Thus it is used to obtain a cross section of the retina based on the reflectivity on different layers within the retina, allowing detection of morphologic and micrometric modifications in retinal tissue. The ability to measure thickness of retinal layers has potential for early detection of pathologies and disease diagnosis (Talu et al, 2009). …”

“…The majority of the existing articles related to this topic have similar methods, especially after the introduction of optical coherence tomography (OCT) (3,4,5). The utility of OCT in the direct visualisation of the microscopic retinal structure, has made it become the gold standard paraclinical examination for diagnosing MH.…”

Objectives: In a period in which minimally invasive surgery revolutionises vitreo-retinal surgery, macular hole vitrectomy has benefited the most from this technical and technological progress. The objective of this paper is to review the modern surgical methods used for the treatment of macular holes and to detail the differences between the current surgical techniques. Material and methods: Review all the published papers between 2000 and 2015 in PubMed and Medscape databases and also the recent specialty literature. Results: We noticed a similarity between the lots studied and the research methods used, especially after the introduction of the Optical Coherence Tomography in the 1990's. There is still a significant difference between the surgical techniques studied, and none is yet considered "gold standard". Conclusions: All the surgical methods currently used in the treatment for macular holes are highly effective, but all the small differences in the anatomical and functional results do not indicate a standardized method.

The objective of this review article is to overview technology, clinical evidence, and future applications to date optical coherence tomography (OCT) probes to yield the diagnostic purpose. We have reviewed the designing, construction and working of different categories of OCT probes developed for optical diagnostics having a potential for non invasive and improved detection of different types of cancer as well as other neoplasm. Rotational and balloon catheters, imaging needles and hand-held, linear scanning, multichannel, micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) technology based, dynamic focusing, forward view imaging, and common path interferometer based probes have been discussed in details. The fiber probes have shown excellent performance for two dimensional and three dimensional higher resolution, cross-sectional imaging of interior and exterior body tissues that can be compared with histopathology to provide the information about the angiogenesis and other lesions in the tissue. The MEMS-technology based probes are found to be more suitable for three dimensional morphological imaging.Assembled micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) probe
